Our History: The Stewart Village Halll is embedded in the history of our Village, it started life in 1870 as the Village School. There are several booklets published by village groups which tell the story of days those halcyon days; ringing the school bell, classes being held in what is now the main hall and legendary teachers that are still remembered fondly today. An old abacus on the wall of the main hall bears the legend, “Manners makyth man” and is a lovely reminder of the hall’s original role.
Our Aims : There have been many changes since the hall opened as the Village Hall in 1976 – Stewart Village Hall is now maintained and run as a charitable trust to support and maintain this historic building on behalf of Brightwell-cum-Sotwell villagers, community groups, local businesses and all hall users and to remain at the heart of the Village.
